Final Checks - Gala Dinner 2008

Datin Neva and President Jamilah, waiting to meet the Minister of Tourism

On the 6th of May, MALFIL Club, represented by President Jamilah, Datin Neva and Leilanie were called upon to meet the Minister of Tourism, Datuk Seri Azalina. We were to meet at the Parliment building....... it was the first for all of us. Interesting enough as we caught glimpses of many other ministers and politicians.

Datuk Seri Azalina apologised to us as she cannot attend our planned function but had promised to send a representative.

The Friday after that, the committee members held at meeting at Menchie's home, where she pampered us with her home-cooked food, such as fish curry, beef stew, mix vegetables, minced beef, chicken adobo, and loads of tidbits. yum yum yummy.

The purpose of this final meeting, a week before our big event on 17th May was to do our final guests count, updates on sales of tickets, raffle tickets, performances and all the others final checks.

The meeting ended almost midnight....... but it was worth it as we managed to iron out a whole lot of issues and of course, we were filled to the brim with the wonderful Zack-Menchie-Yanni hospitality and wonderfully delicious good food.
